What is Power Yoga?
Power Yoga - this is a western interpretation of
Yoga and is based on
Ashtanga Yoga. A Power Yoga class may not necessarily stick to the exact sequence of poses like Ashtanga Yoga does, but it does involve practicing a series of poses without stopping and starting, more of a vigorous, fitness-based approach to Vinyasa-style yoga. Most Power Yoga is closely modeled on the Ashtanga style of practice.
The term Power Yoga came into common usage in the mid 1990s, when several yoga teachers were looking for a way to make Ashtanga Yoga more accessible to a western audience. Therefore, any Power Yoga class can vary widely from the next. What they have in common is an emphasis on strength and flexibility. The advent of Power Yoga heralded yoga’s current popularity, as people began to see yoga as a way to work out.Power Yoga classes can vary widely from teacher to teacher. However, Power Yoga will most likely appeal to people who are already quite fit, enjoy exercising, and want a minimal amount of chanting and meditation with their yoga.
